Daft Innovations LS1 s13 240sx v8 Compilation

[Brendon00000]

damn this is why I got a 240. Amazing swap, you see rb25's and sr20's everyday, same boring stuff, this is nice considering you have no turbo its instant power and you can redline this all day, good for straight lines, daily driving or drifting

[therealrockondon]

dam listen to that motor FUCK SOUNDS LIKE A 454 LOL

[The240LSX]

nice over pass drift to the next on ramp

im just getting the hang of power sliding my LS13

[AlwayzblazinBZ]

That wasn't an STI.... its a bugeye WRX 02-03 its an ej20 2.0l not the 2.5l

that awd 2.0 hung with that 5.7.....and I own a 240sx, a wrx, and an ls1 camaro so before anyone says other wise suck my pee pee.

[kingxshit]

does and know know a good site to get this info on the swap ? and does the 5spd tranny work ?

[preludesh2000561]

@kingxshit GOOGLE IT

[spoolinomni]

@kingxshit id just use the stock 6 speed. i would imagine the stock 5 speed wouldnt work.

[J90lude]

Sounds good!!

[J90lude]

Sounds great!!

[242much]

I'm all about safe highway pulls, but you're doing that with way too many cars out there bro.

[m0rr1s]

rims name pls.... they fit nice to s13

[funguy7979]

damnit i have the motor, swap kit, suspension parts, etc... just missing the car and now i have 2 guys tryin to sell to me different 240's one is a 97 and the other is a 94. WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO I LOVE BOTH OF THEM, FUCK SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will be my second build of a 240 with a ls motor and i had the 98 to work with the first time. Damnit i love both what do i do oh woooh is meeee....!!!!!!!

[twofortyrida]

Do the 94 b/c they are only verts as you prolly know. Never seen a ls1 vert.

[funguy7979]

i did the 97 and sold it. Made 5k on top of costs. Next time. Besides the 94 in this matter wasn't a vert. Would be nice though seeing how it would be different.

[twofortyrida]

I've never seen a 94 that wasn't a vert. 89-93 are coups and hatches and 94 verts and 95-98 are s14s. A vert ls1 would be pure gangster and og tho.

[brawdy2008]

get a 89-92 fast back. thats the best way to go dude.

[funguy7979]

these guys really know their shit!!!!!!!!!

[CRX7510]

dude nice. thats so crazy. That subaru almost pulled you. haha.

[lt1eg6]

this makes me so happy.

[senser1080]

bay area

[thisisobvious]

under the overpass, that ls1 is the ONLY one that had the torque to carry it through. bad ass.

[thacrunkmasta69]

S-chassis + LS motor =Perfect combination!

You would have pulled on that sti easily.

[hemihead69]

DUDE AWSOME VID..! which gear ratio do you use or recomend? am using a j30, but am not sure if this it's the best gear R. just drift performance...  thanks...

[funguy7979]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[idontdriftmys14]

The LS series has a huge advantage over ka-t/sr/rb... It's completely smog legal and the gas mileage is supposedly around 30mpg. It's out of the box performance and reliability. If something does go wrong though it's an easy trip to Autozone.. something you can't do with rb/sr.

[twinturboteen18]

@idontdriftmys14 haha speak for yourself srs and rbs are cheap as fuck to fix in aus and alot simpler to work on then a big complicated 8

[preludesh2000561]

@twinturboteen18 WERE IN AMERICA

[therealhuy]

More public drifting videos, please! :D

[Omar20v]

u just wanted to be different?? an RB26 overthere it would make the same work, do donuts.. and much better... that blow off sound give the adrenaline sound.... anways, that engine is it not bad at all

[ratface6151]

totally missed the point

[silvia393]

probably the best thing about this car is that it kinda still has that tuner sound. Not a retarded muscle car. Best thing ever! I have a S13.5 with a SR20det. Im just gonna go cry.

[quicksilvia7]

To be honest, not all that impressed. What did that suby have? it was right on par

[thacrunkmasta69]

If they had stayed on it the ls13 wouldve pulled.

[antonio6589]

Hey wat kind of exhaust u got ???

[MyToonCodes]

damn nice strong engine on light chassis

[hunaro]

what is your exhaust setup after your headers? mainly concerned on duals or single and what mufflers?

Thanks

[daftdrifting]

3 inch collectors off headers to dynamax bullet mufflers 3 inch to single 3 inch to 3 inch dynamax straight through muffler in rear! total of 3 mufflers basically.

[NCOHs13]

AWESOME

[memo0586]

nice 240 man i got one too i got a sr20 in it but i've been thinking about switching to an ls1 for a while now because all my friends got V8s haha

o and not to be a dick that is not an STI its a wrx :D you could tell because the STI would not have those fog lights under the headlights it would say STI there instead

[ourmartyr]

did you just say too much torque? get the hell out of youtube. and actually it all matters about the gear ratio of the rear end. the stock 240 rear can hold the power... but you'll top out at like 80mph. the ratio of the camaro is 3.73, and the 240 is 4.08, the closest gear ratio with VLSD is the q45 which requires no modification and is 3.69 the only thing i would be worried about are the axle CV joints. they'll blow out quick under that much torque.

[russianyuri]

stock LS1 Camaros have 2.73 gears... OWNED

[ourmartyr]

i'm.not.talking.LS1.camaro.MOR­ON.I'm.Speaking.of.

305.HO.

stupid.ass.kids...

[russianyuri]

and what does 305 HHO have to do with this video of a 240 LS1. Do your research before you make dumb posts and when you do, eat your pride and stand corrected. OLD FART

I've ran 4:30 gears in a car before and I could still hit 120 mph in 3rd gear, so quit going around saying 4.08 gears won't let you go past 80. DO THE MATH OLD FART

[tc240]

the j30 vlsd is a 3.92.

240sx hicas vlsd's are still 4.08 if i remember correctly.

Do your research before bashing.

[daftdrifting]

I have broken 1 r200 pinion gear on a welded diff, I have also broken the splines inside the inner passenger cv boot. I was thinking about doing the q45 diff swap well see.

[AaronTremblay]

how did it handle on the highway with the welded diff? im thinking about doing that but not sure if its going to push or not.

[Fuku2hoe]

lol the stock ratio of all the 6 speed camaro's is a 3:42 ratio that is also the same ratio that the corvette's use including the zo6. auto z28 camaro's came with 2:73 ratio's, and there was an option of 3:23. that is all thank u

[helvek]

that thing is a monster!!!

too much torque tho (IMO)

[wtmodnar]

nice vid, that was a turbo subby, but not sti. =/

[wtmodnar]

ohh forgot to ask, what size tires you running, they look like 18x9

[jpdriven]

my rsx interior is faster.

[0phil1]

sup4fr34k: I've heard a shit load of stuff on that so I really don't know what to believe...

First I heard from a lot of people it was 130 pounds lighter than the KA which seemed wayyy too light.

Then a bunch of other stuff

Do you know how heavy are the LS1 and the T56, acutally the last figure I saw was around 490 lbs for LS1 and 130 lbs for T56...

If its only a few pounds heavier its gotta be the best swap for this car !!!

[0phil1]

How's the car feeling with all that weight up front ??? how's the balance ?

[sup4fr34k]

the weight difference is minimal when swapping an LS1 due to the aluminum vs iron block. IE if you have a stock auto KA24DE and swap a LS1 with a t56 you actually lose like 5 lbs.

[helvek]

LS1 weighs less than the KA24DE i heard

[0phil1]

Yea well I heard many things on both sides so I'd like too see both engine dressed up the same way on a scale ...

[helvek]

true, i wouldnt go with an LS1 for my s13 tho, just in my opinion... i had one... living in brazil now but once i get back to the states im planin on gettin another one...

[Warning66]

LS1s lighter then a SR20DET by ~20lbs.

Dunno about a KAs weight.

[daftdrifting]

this may be true but the t56 is a monster in itself so anyways that weight is more towards center of car!

[ficklefackle]

specs say ls1 ~450 pounds ka24de ~370 pounds

[helvek]

hm might be idk im just sayin what i heard and everybody says somethin different haha

[DusttinPsP]

Now thats nice.......torque monster

[bobsasleep]

very nicely done.

[ITrustTyler]

whats the total cost for modifying the chassis to house the ls1? (mounts, exhaust, subframe, etc...)

[helvek]

i know this company that does it for 8k...

[blucivicracer]

Hey Im considering doing the LS1 swap in a 93 240sx that has a blown KA motor. I was wondering what rear-end did you have in it or is it the stock 240 rear-end. Great video by the way.

[helvek]

its definatly not the stock rear-end.

lotta ppl use the r33 rear-end for such power but i have no idea what this guy has...

[daftdrifting]

stock r200

[94porkchop]

i love the tire abuse!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Nomaddrifter]

Nice Video man!! your 240 is dope!

[veltraz]

learn to drive friend! lol

[socal777]

sick vid,love the car,where did you get the mount kit or did you fab yourself,thanx.

[gtrdriven]

can you imagine the 1/4 mile time on that monster silvia

[hatchback13sec]

7th street damn there was some good days there

[mookhaasa]

Wow. I want one too! If my motor blows I know what I am Getting.

[supraturboLBJ]

damn I wanna go drifting with you guys!

[mmlitt]

that is a cool ass 240.

[Yplate180]

What exhaust is installed at the time of the video?

[OGLOC628]

cool shit man. i want to do a vh45de swap on mine but damn ls1 has it's advantages.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Cool to see another V8 S13. I got an LS6 inside of mine, check out my videos.

What rear are you running? Im in the middle of getting an Aluminum Q45 rear installed with a 3.68 ring gear and pinion, and Z32 TT Axels with a Cucso 1.5way, paired up with 18x9's

[jmss123]

Excellent project, 5 stars tp you, does the camaro and firebird share the same engine ?

[calledtoduty2000]

yep ls1. corvettes and silverados have variants of those engines

[picolini]

The Camaro Z28 and SS (SS has like 10 or so more hp and torque), and the Trans Am and Formula Firebird have the same 5.7L V8 LS1's.

[rg92173]

Actually The SS has less torque. A lot less torque. Anyone care to speak about LS1 ringers? My buddy's stock dyno was 350. Check out the donuts. Agenttyranus.

[ADRIANGSR]

thats a cool s13, how did you get that LS1 into your s13? check out my s14.

[honkanesse]

that is some GAY mountian runs

[daftdrifting]

where are your videos ? ;)

[honkanesse]

I like the rest of the video but the mountian run looks slow.

[daftdrifting]

yeh.. never been up there. i wish i could have ran up closer to the other cars infront of me because they been up there 100's of times.

[coverdale20]

The other crazy thing is that your video finally shows why the f-cars are setup to understeer. You can get neutral handling just by putting the accelerator down a little further, but half of these yahoos out here couldn't handle a truly neutral handling car anyway so why make it easier to kill themselves....

[keepitSIDEWAYS]

the car isnt setup to handle neutrally. 240s are known for their understeer and if you have sense of vision you can see his car isnt handling heutrally its oversteering a lot but he is doing it on purpose.

[coverdale20]

240sx may understeer, but they are more neutral than American performance cars. I've owner both so I know personally. In addition, he stated that there was no sway bar on the car. Don't be so defensive I am actually on your side....

[keepitSIDEWAYS]

the weight distribution with the LS1 is actually better than with the ka24de as it weighs 130 pounds less. evens out the weight distribution a little bit and sheds over 100 pounds off the car. and LS1 is 50 state smog legal. why bother with anything else?

[daftdrifting]

ok.. well car weight 2625 with half tank gas... with bumper supports .. no blower motor a/c or heater core.. no tar on floorbooards.. basically 2 seats, dash, center console, and door panels... 50 state legal with cats!!!

[Team503]

Got a mount kit?

[coverdale20]

God you are so right. I talked to the guy at Hinson motorsports and he confirmed. I've had both a Trans Am and a 240sx just like this one. I would have never thought you could combine the two. but I'ma give it go myself - just do the math (Clean 240sx + LS1 and associated mods = $10,000-maybe less) and still definitely cheaper and possibly faster than a Corvette. Great handling too....

[keepitSIDEWAYS]

as for a 240sx MAYBE being faster than a corvette... your taking corvette power and your shedding 700 pounds off of it... of course its gonna be faster.. its gonna be A LOT FASTER. LS1 S13 with bolt ons will probably keep up with the new 505hp z06. stock motor ls1 s13 can break into 11s. $70,000 for z06 or $10,000 for ls1 s13. you decide..

[coverdale20]

KeepitSIDEWAYS, isn't that what I just said earlier.... You're only reiterating the point that I have already made.

[durnando]

that ride is the crazy S13 i have ever seen, love it!

[mbopm]

its got a musclecar sound to it. nice.

[ahyahyahy]

How is the handling? I mean it's power over drifting but that's not handling lol, it seems quite out of control, although awesome. How is the handling compared to SR swap or KA stock or RB or anything else for that matter, I'm asking the owner, not random hearsay.

[hellboy006]

hey thanks for your help with the rims... and for the people dissing your drifts they seem to have forgotten the way you handled some of the curves in that canyon... ;) with a weight distribution that funky i'd say your doing a hell of a job...

[thisistesux]

do you have any type of progress pics?...or a build thread on a forum?

[hellboy006]

this video is friken awesome! those are the kind of rims im trying to get for my s13 but im not sure of the offset.... right now im thinking 18X7.5 +38 and 18X9.5 + 35 for the rear... if anyone could help me out that would be sweet!

[daftdrifting]

well i dont like my offsets but you can fit the 18x9.5 +35 in rear on stock fender with a 265 35 18 tire. minor fender lip roll thats it. fronts are 18x 8.5 + 35 but i have 25 mm spacers on it to make it sit more flush.

[thisistesux]

the sound of that motor gave me a huge throbbing bonner , good job.

But , im not liking the drifting on the streets deal , if you even call that drifting , if your are , then you are starting your drifts waaaaay to late , more like powerover than anything. plus the street racing is the ghey..and please dont reply "f' you kid" , cause im 32. But , that motor sounds like music...i would do anything do have that motor in myu S13.

[daftdrifting]

your right alot is power over but also i had no sway bar and not much time on the setup and i not to shure on how it reacted. Since then i have got a little more comfortable with it but yes it is a beast. I also have a camera mount now so video will be more stable from now on.

[87zig]

Those donuts were terrible!

[daftdrifting]

your right.. car dont like donuts, i just made some smoke because people had requested that. trust me i hate donuts i think its a waist of tires and wear on your motor. oh well.

[J90lude]

She sounds so nasty!! Rite now Im lovin it

[mytrang]

Hey nice video! I think that sr20det s13 was pretty nice.

[boostghost]

fuck that, LS1 FTMFW!!!!!!!!!

[Team503]

+893472098720984720975

[daftdrifting]

Yeh it was nice.. would be nicer with a t28 some 550s and a z32 maf ;)

[gamejunky420]

how did the motorswap process go, ive been trying to get some tips on what i need to do such as fabrication wise to fit that 350 small block in my s13
